MetroMSP Offers Free Cybersecurity Training to Help Organizations Educate Remote Workforces

Work From Home Environments Create New Opportunities for Cybercriminals

MetroMSP today announced free cybersecurity training, an engaging online video-based training program. The robust cybersecurity training program is designed to educate employees on common threats to their organization’s cybersecurity and offers a new way for small to medium-sized businesses to educate their employees on cybersecurity risks and best practices amid the coronavirus pandemic, right from their home.

As many organizations have been forced to begin operating from a remote work environment, more employees than ever before have started working from home. The problem with this is that working remotely poses new cybersecurity risks to organizations that they likely have not dealt with up until now. Cybercriminals are diligently working to take advantage of these changes, hoping that employees will let their guard down or slip up by continuing to practice poor cyber hygiene in an environment that has many risks that are often overlooked.

MetroMSP’s trained the entire staff of McKirdy, Riskin, Olson, DellaPelle, P.C., Cedar Knolls, NJ become more aware of the various dangers cybercriminals pose to unsuspecting workers. “The training is excellent … and it opened our eyes to some important dos and don’ts ... Our business and personal information is at risk on the Internet and the training helped prepare our employees to mitigate the chances that there will be a successful cyberattack on them or upon our firm.” says Thomas Olson, Managing Partner. “As many of the businesses in our community have shifted to a work from home environment to keep their doors open, we wanted to ensure that these businesses aren’t putting themselves at greater risk later down the road,” says Bob Michie, President at MetroMSP “Working remotely has its perks, but also comes with distractions and risks. We’re seeing a huge rise in COVID-19 scams which can pose a major risk to the security of our local businesses. That’s why we’re rolling out free cybersecurity training to any organization that wants it. Whether you’re a current customer or not, we want to make sure your employees have some knowledge of how to protect your business. Right now, all that matters to us is coming together to protect our community.”
